Note: From the "History of Washington County Tennessee 1988," second printing 1990, compiled by the Watauga Assoc. of Genealogists, p. 79:
"An old log church built in 1811, known as Union Church, was located on a site between the present U.S. Highway 11E between Jonesborough and Limestone. As Lutheran families moved to that area they probably used that church for Lutheran services, since they erected Luther Zion church in 1849 on that same site. In 1852, Fyatt Armentrout donated land nearby for a cemetery. The church building still (1990) stands, a one-room, oblong building painted white. The building was heated with two stoves, using wood for fuel; the stoves were made in Telford, Tennessee, and one is now in the Washington County museum in Jonesborough. An early member of the church was Frederick Armentrout, descendant of Anna Elizabeth Armentrout (Ermentraud) who, with her six sons, came to America on the ship "Samuel" in 1759. They first settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, but later moved to Augusta County, Virginia, where they assisted in erecting Peaked Mountain Church. In 1839, Frederick Armentrout came to Washington County, Tennessee with his wife and ten of their twelve children, buying 500 acres of land on Big Limestone Creek near Luther Zion Church. Jacob Sellers with his wife Priscilla Armentrout, and their six children followed Frederick to Tennessee and became members of Luther Zion church."
